Independent Medical Review

IMR Attorney in Los Angeles

The Independent Medical Review (IMR) process was developed to resolve disputes involving the medical treatment of injured workers. When a dispute arises between an injured worker and the Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC), the state requires the dispute be settled through an IMR. Although the IMR process was designed to make the resolution of disputes quicker and more cost efficient, it has proven to be confusing and frustrating for injured workers in desperate need of medical treatment.

At the Work Injury Attorney Group in Los Angeles, our experienced work injury lawyers understand how frustrating and disheartening it can be to find out your work comp claim has been denied, modified or delayed. We also understand that the thought of starting the IMR process can be daunting. Let our work injury attorneys take care of the legal process so you can tend to your injury and your family. We have years of experience successfully representing injured workers and can put our workers’ comp system expertise to work for you.

IMR Lawyer in Los Angeles

When you reported an injury to your employer, your employer filed a workers’ compensation claim on your behalf. When an employer files a work comp claim, a request for medical treatment is submitted to the DWC. Once the request is received, the DWC reviews the request for medical treatment and decides whether the request is necessary. In some cases, the DWC will modify the initial request for treatment or delay the request to investigate the circumstances surrounding the injury.

IMR Attorneys in Los Angeles

It can be devastating for an injured worker to find out the DWC denied, delayed or modified the request for medical treatment, but it is not the end of the road. An injured worker can request an IMR from his or her employer. Although employers are required by law to pay for an IMR, injured workers may face opposition or resistance from their employers if an IMR is requested.

If you have requested an IMR and you have been met with opposition, do not hesitate to speak to an ethical work injury attorney at the Work Injury Attorney Group in Los Angeles. We are here to help alleviate the stresses of the claims process and will not back down to employers or insurance companies trying to deny you much needed benefits. When one of our work injury lawyers takes your case, we will use every available resource to make sure you are not denied reimbursement for medical wages, lost income from taking time off work, disability, and mileage. You are much more likely to get a different result – a successful result – with our representation than if you tried to handle the IMR process on your own or with inexperienced legal help.
